BMW Motorrad has revealed a new concept bike named “Concept Link”. At the Concorso d’Eleganza Villa d’Este 2017 held on 27th May, the BMW Group has presented its vision of zero-emission urban mobility on two wheels, “The BMW Motorrad Concept Link” with the tagline “Urban mobility meets tradition”.
The presentation event was also live through Facebook and while explaining about the new concept Link, BMW says ‘The BMW Motorrad Concept Link is the logical continuation of this connectivity, thanks to electric drive, zero emissions, and full connectivity, the concept vehicle is not just a means of transportation, but also a means of communication. In doing so, the BMW Motorrad Concept Link unites the benefits of the digital world with those of the analogue world. And in doing so it becomes the visionary symbol for a new era of urban mobility.’
The interconnection of human, vehicle and the environment.
With the BMW Motorrad Concept Link, urban mobility is completely reinterpreted: intelligent, integrated and perfectly intuitive. The concept goes one step further: even the rider’s clothing is intelligently connected with the vehicle. A simple stroke over the sleeve, for instance, is enough to close the sliding door of the luggage compartment.
Edgar Heinrich, Head of Design BMW Motorrad said, “The BMW Motorrad Concept Link demonstrates a new understanding of urban mobility. It links the digital world with the analogue world and places the rider’s mobility requirements in the foreground. With its timeless, reduced styling, the BMW Motorrad Concept Link is more than just a study – it is the symbol for a new era.”
During the event, the Concept Link took part at the Street Run with all the wonderful historic motorcycles from Villa Erba to Villa d’Este. Timo Resch, Vice President Sales & Marketing BMW Motorrad said, “In 40 – 50 years we might have motorcycles flying around but at the same time we will have motorcycles on the road and in the dirt. That is where emotions come from.”
